Ordering a Christmas gift illustrated how integrated Europe is and how just in time works.
A pair of Camper shoes was ordered online in Manchester last Saturday.
DHL's tracking tool showed the order was processed in Barcelona the same day. Also on Saturday, the shoes were dispatched to Camper's sort facility in Madrid then forwarded to Leipzig, arriving on Sunday.
The next leg of the shoe's journey on Monday was to DHL in Manchester and four hours later, they were delivered to Camper in Manchester ready for me to collect. Hugely impressive, or would it have been better to hold stock at the store? Probably not a cost effective measure to sit on stock in store; just in time must be more profitable.
